Hey guys - I just joined the club and purchased a '05 4.4i, but I'm getting second thoughts about it now. I've had the car for almost two weeks and I'm starting experiencing the below transmission problems:

1. From Cold start place car in drive and ease on the accelerator - X will hesitate slightly as you accelerate. As you increase in rpms car will shift HARD into second gear. This only occurs from cold start and the problem becomes less apparent as the transmission warms up.

2. From a full stop - release brake and accelerate. X will intermitantly produce a violent jolt comparable to being rear ended almost.

Has anyone experienced these issues?
And if so what was done to repair them and did the repairs resolve the issue.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
